Pictures of what we did today

The smokers came off with out a hitch. It was so nice to see the smoke coming out of the smoking shed and the yard smelling like smoked fish. We were able to process them tonight so they are ready to go...
The weather was odd today. Wet this morning. Made all the snow turn to ice and smooth ice at that so it equalled a snow day for the boys. Going over to the plant this morning I am sure I did a good imitation of Bambi on ice. Didn't fall but Andrew did lift me up once or caught me. Tonight it is cold, windy and snowing heavily. Two inches I estimate already down and a few more to come in the next few hours. Kids are hoping for another snow day.
Looking forward to being at Dufferin Grove this coming Thursday. It has been a long time. The smoked is ready and we will have frozen. We need to still wait for the ice to quit moving in and out. It is broken up but on a calm night the chunks freeze into one solid sheet. Patience, the time to fish will come again soon enough so we tell eachother.
All else seems to be okay here. Nice to be working again. See you Thursday and aiming to be at Wychwood on Saturday....

Introduction to Akiwenzie's Fish

We are a small First Nations sustainable commercial fishing and fish processing company on the west side of Georgian Bay. We are located just north of Wiarton at Neyaashiinigmiing formally known as Chippewas of Nawash.

The fish we offer is only wild caught out of the deep waters of Georgian Bay. The species we usually catch is whitefish and lake trout.

Our smoked fish is Maple smoked. It is smoked over maple wood chips for 6-8 hours and basted with maple syrup.

We have fresh fish that was just caught the day before and they are filleted, pinboned and packaged for market. We only bring the freshest fish and the fish that meet our very high standards to market. On days that the weather wasn't cooperating we will be offering frozen fish. The frozen fish is frozen the same day it was caught to capture the freshness.

We are a family of 5 and Andrew is the fisherman/processor/owner and Natasha is the smoker/processor.
